@Gappie Al Kebabi Because where I live is the day with less cars circulating on the street and it is also the day off from work, nothing better than a nice car ride.
I had a lot of fun working with classic car dealers and friends in those days. I do entertainment videos now :) These old cars with no synchros aren't the smoothest to shift. I'm pretty good at it but I'm usually the one videoing. I can rev just over and drop in gear
Very nice! There is a very good chance that I’ll own one of these someday. The 1930/31 Tudor Sedans are my favorite (black with yellow wheels is my favorite color scheme). These things are so beautiful stock. I can’t believe that people “hot rod” them. I’m just going to be honest; I think hot rods are ugly as sin. I’m all for some minor safety upgrades, such as seatbelts, turn signals etc, but once you bring chopped roofs, big ass V8s and ugly flame paint jobs into the picture, I’m out. IMO once all of that has been done, it’s NOT a Model A anymore.
GAV valve, 1 turn CCW when cold, 2 cranks then chock, no need to chock after engine is running... Also, engine is rpm is too high, and drive should shift slower --to not grind gears.... The spare advance on the left goes down, not up after engine is starter..
I recently filmed a 1931 Ford Model A owned by Terry and Kathy OBryant at Black Bear car show in Chatsworth GA REPLY What part of Texas was this filmed?
That engine must have been warm when you started it so easily with no throttle opening or choke pulling. Shame if you ran it without advancing the spark at least. That engine could overheat. And yes, either double clutch between second and third or slow the idle speed to get rid of that crunch. The right rear bumper arm looks bent and should be replaced, as with mine. And that black firewall. You know it should be body colour. Now you can get picky with my Model A video.
Ahoi there. I just found out by accident, that there classic cars are WAY more affordable than I would've ever believed. Also, it seems the Ford T and A models are so numerous that they are especially affordable and have a good supply for spare parts. I might, indeed, be getting one myself one day. I have only one question: many "old" cars, i.e. 70s and 80s, do tend to be rather small for tall people. Do you have any idea if a Model A Ford would be anyhow suited for a rather tall person, i.e. 6'3" etc.?
LutzDerLurch Yes Model A and Model T Fords are bargains The older folk who grew up with them and loved them are a dying breed unfortunately. It is a good time to buy you an "A" I always enjoy filming and working with the old '30s cars. Check out my 1928 Packard video - Sam
Magnífico, pero no sé como funciona, ya que el indicador de nivel de combustible marca 0. O pónganle un corcho sintético, que diga más que el natural, como flotador. Tuve por 7 años un 29 4 ptas. convertible y el flotador no se desintegró por el contacto con la nafta. Rivera, Uruguay.
The driver needs to double the clutch and take more time when changing gear to get a clean change, only way to change down cleanly. Thanks for posting.
Yeah, but everyone I know does and my dad's generation all said they did, too. Sure, I had a 1980 Mustang that I could shift without using the clutch at all, but a transmission is supposed to be used as the manufacturer says it should be. Model A's were supposed to be double clutched.
It’s a very nice car!!! But blowing the horn and over-revving doesn’t hide the fact she is in need of a serious tune-up!!! If you are serious about keeping this car for prosperity..... look after her!! Or get someone to do it for you... the car is begging for it.... and worth it!!!! No offence intended,with Kind Regards,Henk Tulp,the Netherlands.
@@samspace81 so it’s non-synchro then why aren’t you double clutching. Just double clutch for the sake of the transmission. The grinding in between gears hurts me.
